It's clear that the government's strategy of attempting to appease Donald Trump has roundly failed; when you cede ground to a bully, you only embolden them further. It's time for the UK to show some genuine backbone in the face of the US President's aggression and unreliability.

It's clear we need to go much further to combat the corrosive impacts of huge political donations on UK politics. That means banning crypto donations, yes - but also introducing a cap on individual donations, greater transparency on campaign donations and spending, and more.

Happy Friday everyone - here's what I've been up to as your MP this week!

If you're wondering how seriously Starmer takes the responsibility of PMQs, today he chose to completely dodge my question about water pollution and support for farmers - and instead rant about America, nuclear weapons, and cocaine. Utterly ridiculous behaviour.

We cannot allow political subservience to Trump and Netanyahu to lead Britain into a dangerous, illegal, expensive war. It's time for Starmer to show some genuine backbone on the international stage.

There is no amount of subservience or ego-flattering that will turn Donald Trump into a reliable ally for the UK - a state visit from the King won't do it either.

Happy Friday everyone - here with another quick update on what I've been up to as your MP this week!

My constituent has been waiting over five months to get a response from DWP about his UC case - really unacceptable. And this is by no means the only case. I challenged the Minister to ensure that DWP responds to the public - and MPs - within reasonable timescales.

Ridiculous that young people, who are not able to drive as a means of transport, are so often excluded from conversations around concessionary bus travel. We need free bus travel for young people, disabled people, and the elderly as standard - not based on a postcode lottery.

We must defend UK democracy from Russian interference and the wider web of dirty money and misinformation which enables bad actors to undermine trust in politics. The Elections Bill is crucial in addressing this - the govt must not delay it any further.

Minnesota cannot afford to have a rubber stamp for the President in the governor's office. From the tariffs to health care cuts, I have taken on the White House and gotten things done for our state.

For over 15 years, I’ve pushed to ban members of Congress from becoming lobbyists and profiting from their influence after they leave. Republicans unanimously blocked my amendment to do so, siding with the special interests that corrupt our politics. The American people expect better & deserve it.

Blood pays for your silence, and the bill keeps growing. They want obedience dressed up as responsibility. People who believe they built their own cage start negotiating for softer restraints instead of tearing the structure apart. Control becomes internal.
